A number of pegs are placed in holes on a board. You can remove a
peg by jumping an adjacent peg over it to a vacant hole on the other
side. Your aim is to remove all but one of the pegs initially
present.
This game, best known as \q{Peg Solitaire}, is possibly one of the
oldest puzzle games still commonly known.

To move a peg, drag it with the mouse from its current position to
its final position. If the final position is exactly two holes away
from the initial position, is currently unoccupied by a peg, and
there is a peg in the intervening square, the move will be permitted
and the intervening peg will be removed.
Vacant spaces which you can move a peg into are marked with holes. A
space with no peg and no hole is not available for moving at all: it
is an obstacle which you must work around.

\dd Controls whether you are given a board of a standard shape or a
randomly generated shape. The two standard shapes currently
supported are \q{Cross} and \q{Octagon} (also commonly known as the
English and European traditional board layouts respectively).
Selecting \q{Random} will give you a different board shape every
time (but always one that is known to have a solution).
